“SELF-MADE BILLIONAIRES” ARE A MYTH

Elon Musk, British And Pennsylvania Dutch Father Stole Their Wealth From Africa - The Natural Resources

Pennsylvania Dutch, also known as Pennsylvania Germans

"We were very wealthy. We had so much money at times we couldn’t even close our safe. One person would have to hold the money in place with another closing the door. And then there’d still be all these notes sticking out and we’d sort of pull them out and put them in our pockets." ~Errol Musk, father of Elon Musk

*The family didn’t end up OWNING the mine through hard work. The ownership happened through racist laws and policies that allowed British and Europeans, in South Africa exclusive access to Africa's natural and human resources. Apartheid laws and policies barred indigenous Africans from benefiting from their own natural and human resources. Instead, non-Africans like the Musk family were.

Bill Gates’ mom helped Microsoft get a deal with IBM.

Jeff Bezos’ garage-based start was funded by a quarter-million dollar investment from his parents.
